We stayed at the hotel from September 9th to 16th using the ultra all inclusive system. We have never regretted that we chose ultra, as unlike the usual all-inclusive, it includes a visit to 7 restaurants located on site during lunches and dinners. The menu according to this system is offered in each restaurant of three sets, and it does not change, but it did not take a week to try everything, it was delicious, everything was fresh and varied. The rooms are large, over 40 meters, there are no balconies, but there is everything you need for a very comfortable stay. A nice beach club with all amenities, a bar, a swimming pool, etc., a bay, there is no open water, but it is quite possible to swim deep. The location is excellent, you can walk to the Presidential Palace, the Emirates Palace Hotel (go inside, they will gladly open the doors in front of you), the Corniche Embankment. We went to the Louvre, the mosque, Saadiyat beach and shopping malls by taxi, inexpensive and close by. We liked everything, and if you want to combine comfortable accommodation, the beach, excursions, walks, visit restaurants of different cuisines of the world, and spend a "combined" vacation, then I sincerely recommend the hotel.

This is the best hotel I've been to in the UAE (this is my 4th time here). Everything is impeccable here, from delicious food to high-quality service and attentive staff. We rested for 5 nights in June 2025. The hotel combines both the convenience of its location and the presence of its own beach. The beach is white sand, a bay in the bay, who needs to dive and go deep - you are not here (or go to other beaches). There is a cooling pool next to the beach. Towels are provided everywhere in unlimited quantities. Water too. We had breakfast and dinner. That was more than enough for us. The food is simply bombastic: delicious meat of various types, cheeses, including those with mold, vegetables, herbs, soups (there was even Tom yam), fruits (pineapple, melon, pear, plums, watermelon, apples, bananas), delicious desserts, dried fruits, fish (red for tomorrow), salads, in the morning there is an opportunity to order eggs in different types. Etc. Even the Turkish 5* cannot be compared in terms of the quality of food and service. The room is spacious. The room has everything, you don't have to take anything from home (Byredo cosmetics - shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc.)

We had a vacation in September 2025. One of the advantages of this hotel - 1. A variety of restaurants (provided that the ULTRA is paid for/PREMIUM all inclusive. ) and then all 6 restaurants of the hotel are available 2. Service is better if you leave a tip. 3. There are mattresses on the sun beds near the sea and the pool 4. Excellent quality shampoos, hair conditioners, shower gel, etc. in the rooms. There is a toothbrush and toothpaste 5. Bathrobes and slippers are provided. 6. If you have ordered a taxi near the hotel, the staff opens the taxi door so that you can get in. 7. From 12:00 you can eat ice cream (from the vending machine) 8. Excellent and professional hairdressing team 👍 Of the cons - 1. There is an unpleasant smell at the pool bar 2. No red fish for breakfast. 3. Entertainment program in restaurants only on Friday and Saturday 4. By purchasing ultra all inclusive, alcohol will be available to you until 22:00. Later for cash payment 5. There are no cotton swabs or discs in the room. 6. The rooms are old. It's noticeable. Because the Intercontinental is one of the first five-star hotels in Abu Dhabi. 7. If you are picked up from the hotel after 14:00, access to lunch is already closed, you will only have time for breakfast.

A gorgeous hotel with its own Marina. Good location, high service and quality of the hotel and rooms. Its own large beach infrastructure in a separate one with a large beach and many services on site. A big plus is the cooling pool, which saves a lot in the heat. Excellent fitness club and many different restaurants. Rich and varied breakfasts. Only positive impressions from the hotel and the service

We liked the hotel, convenient location in Abu Dhabi, near the Marina Mall shopping center, all the sights. You can get to any point by Yandex.Taxi, payment by Russian card works. The room has everything you need (shampoo, shower gel, etc.), daily cleaning, gorgeous view. The only thing is, there is no balcony, so things have to be dried over the bathroom on a rope. The staff is polite, if you don't understand English, they have an interpreter ready. In general, the breakfasts, lunches and dinners are varied. If you want to try something different, there are several restaurants on site. There are pools on site and on the beach, and towels are provided both ways.

We stayed at the hotel from October 18 to October 24 using the ultra all system. I liked everything. The service, food, and rooms are all top-notch. This system allows you to use all restaurants for lunch and dinner. Breakfast in the main restaurant. The beach, the Corniche embankment are within walking distance. The rest turned out great. We plan to come again.

A pleasant hotel with its own beach club. Cozy rooms, byredo cosmetics, delicious breakfasts, very nice beach, very friendly staff. From what I didn't like in comparison with the last visit: - they started checking bags at the entrance to the beach for their own food and drinks (this is unpleasant), - the solid soap in the rooms is no longer from byredo, - when paying for drinks with a deposit, there is now no discount of 25%, - there is no red fish for breakfast, only mackerel. A solid "4".

Not a bad hotel, the price and quality match. The breakfast is plentiful, for every taste. The staff is well-trained and helpful. Now about the cons. Beach - there is no open water, the water in the bay is hot, you will not be able to refresh yourself. There is white sand on the beach, two bars. If you need a beach vacation, then it's definitely not here. And of course the hotel is already tired. According to the ultra all inclusive system, it is not always clear what is included in the price.

The hotel is good!! The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff is understanding, not annoying, the territory is large with a large number of locations and various restaurants, with a variety of cuisine and pleasant prices, which is doubly pleasant. We took breakfasts and dinners. But the dinners could be changed at will for lunch if there were other plans in the evening. The location of the hotel is good. It seems to be in a quiet area, but also not far from the main locations.a good main restaurant, caring staff, varied and delicious food.

As far as I understand, this is a transit hotel. It was a great option for spending the night, the room was standard, two-room (I was surprised myself). The service is on the level. Of course there are no frills, but I liked it as a budget option. The breakfast is good and the view from the restaurant is not bad. In February, I will fly via Abu Dhabi and stay overnight at this hotel.

A great hotel, the rooms are spacious, the view in any direction is interesting, it is not necessary to take a sea view. There are three towers from the fast and the furious nearby, where the car flew, you can choose from three restaurants, if it's just all inclusive, then there are 7 restaurants. The sea is hot, which is a minus for me, but a small one. You can get by taxi for a small price (10-20 dirhams) to almost any shopping center, convenient location. I can't list all the advantages, there are very few disadvantages, you can't tell offhand. One of the advantages is the cool pool.

We had a rest from 26.06. to 02.07.2025. I really liked everything: we checked in three hours earlier than the scheduled time, the room was clean, and the room was cleaned daily. The food in the restaurants is varied, everything is very tasty. The hotel staff is attentive and helpful. I would especially like to mention the employee (Russian-speaking, the only one) - Saada! He treated every request very carefully, answered all questions, and suggested how to solve any problem.

The hotel is good, but in some respects it does not pull 5. The sun beds on the beach need to be replaced, the mattresses on them are dirty (stains, something stuck),food: during the 7 days of stay, there was red fish (sliced) once, seafood such as shrimp crabs, etc. there was not once, there was no juice for several dinners, only sprite cola Fanta, per hour- there was a rush to the restaurant, I had to wait 7-10 minutes for an invitation to the hall. The food is delicious, but there is no variety (((. The rooms are cleaned every day, but the 4-star Dubai hotel was cleaned better. Toothbrushes are not changed, shaving machines do not report. If you ask, they will bring it, but don't wait for them to change it on their own initiative. The sea is clean, the beach is clean, the pools are excellent. Towels are brought. The water in the refrigerator is brought only in the pool. There is water on the beach for a fee for those who only have breakfast and dinner (((The bed linen is gorgeous. The blackout curtains shade perfectly. The furniture is tired, of course, but it doesn't affect comfort. There is always an Arabic coffee with huge dates in the lobby (free of charge). The hotel is located in a quiet location, there are many embassies around, but it's a long way from the shops. But there is an alcohol store on the territory of the hotel, which many people do not know about))) Its prices are lower than in

We visited in July 2025. The service is normal. The food is quite average, there seems to be a lot of everything, but it is monotonous, and the dishes are placed chaotically. There is a beach, but there is no sea, there is a bay, lovers of swimming in the sea have nothing to do. Given that the water in the sea is warm, like in a bathtub, and does not cool down, you can find salvation in a pool with cooled water. The room is not bad, plumbing requires intervention already.

The hotel is not new, but it has its own history and is very wonderful! The location is excellent, close to the Corniche embankment and the Marina Mall shopping center. Cleanliness, neatness, friendliness and responsiveness of the staff, daily cleaning, varied meals 🍽️( we took everything inclusive and in 8 days we didn 't get bored with anything , there was fish and meat and chicken and various delicious salads and insanely delicious desserts 🧁 ) in general, all this will make your vacation as cool and comfortable as possible. Everything is provided down to the smallest detail. Shower gels , shampoos , body lotions from byredo bal d'afrique with a hint of retiever There are all the necessary accessories - bathrobes, slippers, disposable razors, combs, shower caps, toothbrushes, toothpastes, even a set of needles. The beach, of course, is small, but you can go to Sadiyat Island or the Corniche embankment ( you can call a taxi via Yandex and pay with a Russian card in Abu Dhabi it is cheaper than in Dubai). You can always find free sun beds on the beach, the only thing is that there are a lot of people on Friday and Saturday, as you can just come here to the beach club for a fee, but even in this case you will find sun beds. The only negative is there is no place to dry things in the room. The air conditioner was working fine.

A great hotel, we arrived for the third time, but this year we are a little more modest in many ways. I still advise non-sophisticated travelers to come. There are no cattle, everything is decorous, noble. I recommend the Brazilian restaurant and the bar above it. The staff is stable, the staff is well-trained, everything is clean and tidy.

We had a vacation in March 2025. We were satisfied. 5-plus service. The smiles and friendliness of the staff are beyond praise. Catering for any sophisticated tourist. Everything is on top. Clean, tasty and satisfying. The beach, pools, gyms — everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Even a hot tub-Jacuzzi on the beach, if overbought. Yes, the hotel is time-tested, but it didn't spoil it. There is a disadvantage, but it can only be in our room: the frames do not close tightly, so the noise from the cars does not let you fall asleep. There is also no place to dry a swimsuit after the beach, a dryer could have been provided. And so, everything is provided for recreation! I recommend it!

6 stars for the friendliness of the staff, willingness to help, unobtrusive attitude 6 stars for the food- quinoa in the morning and an egg omelet with lightly salted Red fish -a fairy tale! We haven't tried all the dishes. 5 stars for rooms and cleaning. The hotel is not new, but it is good enough, the elevators reach the 15th floor in 15 seconds. 4 stars for the lack of a system for drying things after the sea, when leaving the lobby, I recommended making a folding dryer on the wall directly above the bathroom. I will give 7 stars to croissants with pistachios and pistachio paste. 8 stars for the Persian Gulf, the hotel's beach and the pleasant sand. I recommend this hotel for both couples and families with children! There are many British, Poles, Italians.

Everything is fine with food, the beach is a nice oasis, but it requires replacing mattresses and repairs. The rooms are tired, but nice. As I understand it, they are working on room repairs there. In general, it's good if you don't notice the details in the bathtubs and the shabby mirrors. And a very important point is the air conditioner))) we couldn't set it up, it's at 17😅turn it off, it's very humid (please note the windows don't open there). That's why we didn't freeze a lot or suffocate for a turn when we turned off this shaitan technique). And for the rest, there were 5 (bathrobes, slippers, perfume, dental supplies, razor, towels, as many as 8 pieces for two, cleaned every day, water, tea, coffee machine). We traveled for 6 days on an all-inclusive basis in May 2025. And also the location ! The location is just great, everything is in 10 minutes, except for the mosque.

We had a rest in August and were very satisfied! We took breakfast + dinner. The food was decent, the choice was not great, but we always found something to eat with pleasure. The breakfasts were quite monotonous, there was always red or white fish / various pastries / fruits + omelets / fried eggs / poached eggs were made to order. There was always beef/ fish/chicken for dinner + there were always fruits and various desserts, I note that they are very tasty! The hotel is quite old, it does not affect the very infrastructure of the hotel, but the rooms are a bit "tired". The room was cleaned every day with a change of towels + linen was changed every two days. The hotel and rooms are very clean. It's nice to have cosmetics in the restrooms and in the Byredo room. I really liked their beach area, which is combined with a swimming pool. Many people have previously noted that the bay is quite small and there is no place for those who like to swim here, but we were in August and only took a dip there, and swam in a cool pool. By the way, it is important to note that it was very comfortable near the pool, even at the peak of the heat. There is also a pool on the roof of the 3rd floor - it is also very pleasant to relax there. The views of the hotel are amazing The location is good!
